Does anyone have b. caapi seed they'd sell? I'd offer to trade but unfortunately don't have any ethnos, and my interesting plant collection is rather seedless and small at the moment. I'm in the process of jungle-izing my front yard... and it's in need of systemic veins. PM or reply here. Thanks.

Let's see if the mountains have become a little bluer these past days... (or are your hills slightly larger, and a little more... mountainous?)

Thanks centipede! VVVVVVVVVV gets a whole lot of lemongrass, spinach, parsley and mint seeds.

I'm not sure, perhaps someone else more mycology-minded could ID them?

I found these tiny little fellows today, growing from a mossy rock in my front garden. We've been having some weird weather up here in the mountains lately!

This isn't a quick fix, so it may not be what you're looking for, but I find a daily cup of raw cacao + hot water (and sometimes a teaspoon of sugar, to lessen the bitterness), a capsule or two of 5-HTP (griffonia simplicifolia extract), and a good amount of time in the sun (preferably gardening, or bushwalking) is the perfect foundation for a continued sense of well-being. That, plus reading or some other equally stimulating mental activity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griffonia_simplicifolia http://www.medsci.org/v04p0053.htm

nevermind, it turned out to be file size. original file size was 545kb, I resized to 65kb and managed to upload it. I wonder what the limit is?

I'm having a little trouble uploading a profile picture. Is there a size limit or some other method of uploading I should know about? The image in question is only 750 x 875px, and 545kb. I keep getting an error message: "Failed to set a new photo". Any help would be appreciated!

update: after visiting the market today and speaking with an old mexican lady selling tejate there, my friend informs me that the seed (even in it's home of Oaxaca!) is quite difficult to find. the old lady told her that most who use Cacahuaxochitl travel to the nearby town of San Andres Huayapam and take cuttings from the trees that grow there, transplanting them someplace closer to home. so my incredible friend, whom I have never even met before, has offered to drive to this town to track down some seed. talk about kindness. apologies for the numerous bumps to this thread, but there seemed to be some genuine interest in Q. Funebris before the trail went cold, so I thought maybe those previously following this thread would be interested in these updates.

bump. A friend in Mexico is buying these seeds from her local market in Oaxaca tomorrow and posting them shortly after. I'm not sure how big they are, nor how much they will cost, so I've asked for her to buy $20 - $30 worth of seeds. Has anyone here had experience with these trees? I've read that their seeds can be hard to germinate... Any tips? GA3? (BTW, I've never used it). And again... If anyone wants some Q. Funebris seed, let me know.

Thanks 7baz! VVVVVVV gets 20x carica papaya seeds + 50x lemongrass seeds + 20x bhut jolokia seeds VVVVVVV

Reviving this thread because I may have found a source for these seeds. Long story. Lots of hunting. Has anyone on the forums ever had one of these trees in their possession? Specifically raised one from seed? Any tips on growing from seed would be brilliant. Also, if anyone here is interested, I may be able to share some Quararibea funebris seed around once it arrives. p.s. It's been quite a while since I last visited these forums - they've changed a lot! I like the new system, very modern (the good type).

any ideas?
